This highlights an already hard issue with schools in New York City: diversity. This especially tackles the discovery program and its incentive to get low income, diverse students into specialty schools, but the system has become flawed. It allows above 70% Asians in with a shrinking number of Blacks and Hispanics. The mayor is getting major backlash, and, now, he is looking into changing the program.
